I stepped onto the diving board and froze. My hart was pumping like never before.The pool was as blue as the sky but with sprinkle of glitter. My head was shaking like there was a earthquake. on your marks I took my last breath buzzzzzzzzz we dived in the pool like a dolphin fixed emotions filled my body.

My eyes were burning from the cloring finns feet were in my face. I was swimming my hardest stroke by stroke breath by breath I could see the end. I was gliding throw the water I was two meters away finn finished then i finished 

Even know I came second it was a good race. I got out of the pool and got told my time it was 24 seconds.

Runner Runner

I was so desperate to run.

We lined up. All I saw was a mob of statues. My face was sweating, my heart was beating like it has never before. I took a glance at my enemies. fixed emotions filled my body I was fixed on the finish line.

On your marks I wanna win get set I will win go we lit off like rockets following with the wind I felt so free flowing past people until Braith shot up behind me I was gonna push the trigger to go faster but its like its broken I couldn't go any faster what's wrong with me I thought I stood on a prickle its like I am in a car with a popped tire and cant go any faster.

Braith pasted me until my trigger started working I was gaining speed I just passed Braith I won by a cats whisker I was so glad. I collected 3 tokens i'm surprised that thats over until Braith said theres another race not again I groaned.
